Is this car a replica?

oko94 · « **Reply #4 on:** June 30, 2014, 03:19:04 PM »

According to the information I've got, it's not a replica, but it's a fairly recent reconstruction using old genuine parts.

American ?

Partially American

Pros ?

You say partially American, but it seems to have SU carbs. So is the chassis American?

In fact, maybe the angle of the camera has confused me, but is that a Devin D body?

oko94 · « **Reply #9 on:** July 07, 2014, 07:11:18 AM »

The chassis is not American. It's not a Devin body either.

That locker to the right appears to have the answer to Life, The Universe and Everything!

Is the chassis European?

oko94 · « **Reply #11 on:** July 07, 2014, 08:00:22 AM »

Yes, the chassis is European.

Don't focus on the locker though, it doesn't contain anything relevant

nicanary · « **Reply #12 on:** July 07, 2014, 09:27:15 AM »

Was it a design from a well-known small-volume maker, or is it a one-off ?

oko94 · « **Reply #13 on:** July 07, 2014, 09:53:40 AM »

The original body was made by a well-known small-volume manufacturer but this version is unique.
The chassis is from a well-known brand.

Is the engine from Europe?

oko94 · « **Reply #15 on:** July 07, 2014, 11:28:55 AM »

Yes. Consider the chassis and the engine as a whole.

So, to sum it up : this car has an American body over a complete European chassis.

All is correct but I need the name of the Fiberfab body before I give you your well deserved point. I know you can do it !

I have been searching with fiberfab banshee or caribee I hope this is what you are looking for.

Just now I have found a source that refers to the body as Fiberfab Caribee

oko94 · « **Reply #19 on:** July 07, 2014, 04:20:01 PM »

Caribee is the answer. Here's a point for you.

It is indeed the only Caribee roadster, all others are fixed head coupés.
